how about this a switch tester for when test *.exe

[kurt476]

do you want some1 to creat a freeware switch tester that will tell you what switch works on the *.exe for the setup program so you can just test it and you know the switch right away?

and it will make a batch file a hole lot easie to create

[andrewpayne]

Now that would be an interesting project!

i think someone already made it

[kurt476]

yes it would be good if some 1 makes 1 there is no such thing yet any ways

[SiMoNsAyS]

what about universal switch finder?

[kurt476]

SiMoNsAyS that would be good also

well... this may require C++ programming cause i don't think Visual Basic can read the switches. i'll do some research and see what i can find.

just though of my last post lol. and thats only dos programs. so i'll see what i can dig up.

[kurt476]

well thank you Bi0haZarD very much it very would make things a lot easier

VB can... I have done this about 10 years ago in turbo pascal too A tiny block of code with a msgbox Command$ isn't hard to do (and then shell the "real" exe) I'm not installing VB.Old, you can have the fun

i think this is what simon meant

doesn't Command$ return the command switch that was used in starting your program??? i've been looking into this for about 2 hours, and can't find any programs or source code examples that can actually get the list of command line options from another program...

the switch finder dosen't have the switches for self-extract like nero for expamle.

i think we need a universal switch finder

do make one yourself then.

I dunno how you people are gonna do this without either A. Decompiling the EXE or B. Looking at the HEX and going through byte by byte. Or you have a preknown list.

Those are the only way's I can think of, unless you plan are just copying pasting and hoping the child program has a /? that lists the switches.

Universal Switch Finder is just a Database I believe.

it like i said i can't do really hard programing i wish i had the tools to learn like visual basic and c++ and things so i can do hard program i can do like a simple command line that all and just setup windows. that's all i can do but other wise i need some 2 do it for me because i can't do it i'm like a dummie that dosen't know thing like hard programing i wish i could do things like create software i have visual basic lying around but it dosen't have the tools to tell me what i should put or any thing
